Re: MBT's
I always love the folks screaming about the defense budget here in the USA.
About 50% of it is pay and maintenance (food, housing, etc.) for the troops and can't be cut unless they cut the overall size of the armed forces.
And we're currently involved in low intensity (at least to the folks not being shot at) wars which create additional "can't be cut" expenses.
But let's not reality interfere with the rose-colored-glasses view of how things "should" be.
